It I think I'm going to need to go shopping for some food as well. It seems that I have been munching on oreos and ice breakers sours for the pass 2 days. Well at least I have fruity fresh breath between the times I smell like chocolate and cream

My breakfast today consisted of a cold slice of Papa John's pizza and some diced watermelon.

There's a Papa John's in Syracuse and I stop in there when I visit the comic shop out there and have a craving for pizza...yes, I really do drive 40 miles or so to get comics and enjoy some damn fine pizza.

By the way has anyone heard of red bean paste? They refer to it alot in Bleach and I am unfamiliar with it's edibility, as all references to it in the anime are related to most character's haboring disdain for Orihime's taste in food.

Hajimemashite. How do you do?Watashi wa Furankurin desu. My name is Franklin.Watashi wa nekononiku ga daisuki desu. I love cat meat.Nihon no onanohito mo daisuki desuyo. I also love Japanese women I say!Doozo yoroshiku.It is nice to meet you.

I've never seen it or tasted it but there's now a good sized population of Asians (Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans...not sure how many Japanese) in my general vicinity and I know of a few small, ethnic grocery stores and some decent restaurants in my area. Perhaps I'll pop into a store and see what they have, the next time I'm in that area.

I'm always willing to give weird food a try.

It's really sweet, though you wouldn't think so. (which is the reason they're mocking Orihime's cooking... doesn't she like put it with leeks or something?!?) I actually have some red bean popsicles in my freezer right now that we bought at the asian market yesterday. If you ever come across something called daifuku (they're little balls made of rice dough filled with bean paste) get them. They are delish. I've only ever seen them at asian groceries and anime cons.

Although, the Asian specialty foods are minimal around here. I'll poke around the few very small shops in my area that I know of sometime but I won't get my hopes up. Cool stores like Asian Markets don't exist here. (~Cries~ )

If I make it to Otakon this summer or a visit to Savannah (I'm trying to do both this year), I'll haveta buy some of this neat stuff which I can't get here.
